Answer

SATIN

Satin is a type of weave that produces a characteristically glossy surface and dull back. Originally, satin was made exclusively from silk, but modern versions can be made from polyester and other synthetic fibers. The word comes from the Arabic term 'zaytuni' referring to Zaitun, the Arabic name for the Chinese port city of Quanzhou where the fabric was traded during medieval times.
